The National Monuments Service's description
On a gentle SW-facing slope in undulating grassland within a broad river valley. A rectangular enclosure (dims. 16m N-S; 17m E-W) defined by a bank which is well preserved along the N, S and W sides and is open on the E side, facing towards a fall of steep scarp. There is a rectangular enclosure (KK003-018005-), also aligned E-W, 3m to the N, above which there are two other conjoined rectangular enclosures (KK003-018004-; KK003-018003-). There is a circular enclosure (KK003-018001-) to the NW which is immediately W of the two most northerly enclosures.
